Do u notice that phone charged via usb port can last longer compared to magnetic charger?

What I love abt Z1 is its weight. Been a user of HTC Desire HD which is pretty heavy at 164g and got used to it's weight. Other phones are freakishly light; like a toy! Z1 is slightly heavier at 169g (I think) and it feels real solid in my palm; unlike other phones. I'm not a BBW lover though  , but I think premium phones should be slightly heavier in built. My 2 cents

Hi all sifu. I was try to install qvod but it can't work.
No matter how many times I press install also it won't work. Only can press cancel. Anyone can help or any suggestion?

this is the new theme from 4.3? looks nice

Try rebooting and repeat process?
It's a downloadable theme offered in 4.3. The only acceptable one IMO    Didn't you update the OS?

Is this proven? Not so sure about the phone lasting longer though. But in terms of charging speed, micro USB definitely is faster 
Woah, you're one of the first person I know that likes the XZ1's weight  The weight doesn't really bother me as addressed by some people though. It'll be weird for a big phone to be feather light isn't it?    Nah, I'm not a BBW lover too 

sometimes it happens on mine too but its usually because of too oily.. once i wipe away the oil.. its all back to normal.. and i think nillkin SP got something to do with it too.. no issue without SP or maybe i didnt get to test thoroughly because i put on SP quite early..

Sony bloatware also can be uninstalled if you don't need. Unlike Samsung which not only can't be uninstalled but also takes up RAM. 

Reboot n repeat d. Still can't. 4.2.2 and 4.3 firmware also can't.

I'm using nilkin too but does it affect? Weird... And my phone no oil one cos I ocd, I see a bit of dust also I wipe dy not cos it's new but I've been like this since forever.
Can me, i use flash tool only can I have many bloatwares removed but it may affect your OTA updates although you restored back to default.
Do you happen to  have any screen filter? If you do, deactivate first.

Sony just gave us an early christmas gift with 4.3 update. Vast improvement on the phone. If sony keeping their promise, we will get 4.4 kitkat this january or latest by february.

In terms of build quality, no major flaw except for the screen. Some may get sort of yellow hue on their screen but Sony rep promised to provide built in color balance in the next coming patch which will fix the yellow hue to certain degree. If still doubtful, just test it yourself on the spot.

1. Most say that the touch screen problem is a hardware defect, mostly happen when the phone is placed onto certain fabrics (bed, pillow, etc). No real solution so far. My advice is just check your phone thoroughly before paying. Send it back to SC if the bug is present. You might wanna read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950 for more info.

2. This is like going to Nike store and ask if it's better than Adidas  It depends on personal preference. I had a choice between Note 3 and Z1 as well.

But I chose Z1 because : Design (glass is love) , better camera, shutter key, less people using it (hipster, I know  ) , brand (was a big fan of Sony Ericsson and their PlayStation series) , simple UI, waterproof, dustproof, more "premium" feeling, and etc

I did not experience the yellow hue screen lottery. As for the software updates, it doesn't really bother me.

What I typed above is purely subjective, and your choice depends on your preference really. You should go test out both phones, run through the functions and you should be able to decide

1) no such thing happen on my unit

2) Z1 of course since u r asking in Z1 thread why Z1 built quality hold u back? Note 3 feel more premium to u?

Samsung is only good when you go with custom.

#1 I have that issue and it's becoming worse. Left and right side of the screen, I'm using SwiftKey and I usually hold Q for 0.2 seconds it to change to 1 but somehow it just keeps getting cut off. Very weird.

U sure samsung cannot uninstall bloatwares?

Their internal parts seems badly holdup. I've seen the z1 drop test on youtube, 3 drop and not able to switch on.
Exterior seems great tho.
Thanks you guys for the feedback.
